BIG NEWS
I have accepted a job as an assistant professor at Princeton
University
with a joint appointment in the Department of Psychology and the Woodrow
Wilson School of Public Policy. I will have a link to my Princeton
webpage when such exists...
It's a sad state of affairs indeed when my homepage has become (somewhat)
formal. But, with me being on the job market this year, it seemed wise to
put forth a (moderately) professional facade, even if that facade is belied
by my comments in the introductory paragraph. So here you can learn all
about my professional endeavors.
Research
My main focus of research concerns the interaction of
causal
discounting and perceptual fluency (seperated into two links below for
organizational purposes). My secondary research focus addresses how people
perceive and understand randomness. I also have a variety of miscellaneous
topics that I am working on. You can find information on all of these topics
here:

Teaching
I have done a fair amount of teaching since I've been at Stanford. Below are
some links that might provide a sense of that. Please be aware that the
links on the course pages (especially for the older classes) may no longer be
working as I no longer update course pages for classes that have ended.
